Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
For the first time, scientists have successfully genetically modified stem cells in vivo in mice, eliminating the risks associated with extraction, lab alteration, and re-introduction of the cells. Patients with…
Researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have developed stem cell nose drops that has restored the sense of smell in mice. When olfactory sensory neurons are…
A team of researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research in Madison, WI are using induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) to create functional arteries that can be used to treat…
One of the problems with the use of the CRISPR gene editing tool for treating genetic diseases in humans is how to control gene editing precisely once CRISPR-Cas9 has been…
University of California researchers have used electrodes to read brain signals and developed a virtual vocal tract and machine learning algorithms to translate those signals into speech. Using the system,…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have 3D bioprinted a heart complete with atria, ventricles, and blood vessels using cells harvested from the patient. The work represents a major advance in…
The first human CRISPR gene editing trial to be conducted in the United States has now commenced. The treatment is being given to two patients as part of a study…
Researchers at Duke University have developed a new technique for improving the accuracy of gene edits made using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. CRISPR-Cas9 has been shown to be highly…
A team of researchers in India have grown cardiac muscle cells from induced pluripotent stem cells on human amniotic membrane which has outperformed the commercially available gelatin-based 3D matrix substrate…
Pluripotent stem cells are extremely useful in regenerative medicine as stem cells have the ability to transform into any type of cell. They can therefore be used to repair organs…
